Selective adhesive gift wrapping sheet

Abstract

The disclosure is a gift wrap material affixable to a target surface. The gift wrap material comprises a linerless opaque first substrate. The first substrate has a first major surface and a second major surface. A selective adhesion mechanism is disposed on the first major surface. The selective adhesion mechanism includes a pressure sensitive adhesive and is configured so as to provide a first adhesion force to the target surface before activation of the mechanism and a second adhesion force to the substrate after activation of the mechanism. The first adhesion force is at a level so as to allow the sheet to be positionable on the target surface. The invention also is a method for wrapping a gift. A linerless opaque first substrate is provided. The substrate has a first major surface, a second major surface and a selective adhesion mechanism disposed on the first major surface. The first major surface is positioned against the gift with substantially no adhesion of the first substrate to the gift. The selective adhesion mechanism is activated by applying a force to the second major surface. The first substrate is adhered to the gift.

1 . A gift wrap material affixable to a target surface comprising: 
 a linerless opaque first substrate and having a first major surface and a second major surface and a second substrate secured to the first substrate;    a selective adhesion mechanism disposed substantially continuously on the first major surface, the selective adhesion mechanism including a plurality of discrete standoffs formed in to the second substrate in a substantially amorphous pattern and extending outwardly from the first substrate and repositionable pressure sensitive adhesive disposed between and completely surrounding the standoffs at an average thickness less than the height of the standoffs prior to activation;    wherein the selective adhesion mechanism is configured so as to provide a first adhesion force to discrete regions of the target surface before activation of the mechanism and a second adhesion force of at least about 20 grams per centimeter width to the substrate after activation of the mechanism;    wherein the first adhesion force is at a level so as to allow the sheet to be positionable on the target surface;    wherein the selective adhesion mechanism is configured so as to be activatable by a force of at least about 20,000 N/m 2  (Pa) applied in a direction generally normal to the plane of the first substrate    
   
   
       2 . The gift wrap material of  claim 1 , wherein the second adhesion force is less than about 100 grams per centimeter width.  
   
   
       3 . The gift wrap material of  claim 1 , wherein the first adhesion force is no greater than about two grams per centimeter width.  
   
   
       4 . The gift wrap material of  claim 1 , wherein the first substrate is plastic.  
   
   
       5 . The gift wrap material of  claim 1 , wherein the first substrate is paper.  
   
   
       6 . The gift wrap material of  claim 1  and further comprising: 
 indicia disposed on the second major surface.
